You are a rude, thoughtless little pig."

LOS ANGELES - The festering bad blood between movie-star exes Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger erupted Thursday when an angry phone message from Baldwin to his daughter was made public.

On the recording, Baldwin can be heard berating his 11-year-old, Ireland, "You are a rude, thoughtless little pig."

"You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being," he says, apparently upset that she did not answer her phone for a planned call.

"I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ### who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone."

He goes on to say that he plans to fly from New York to Los Angeles "for the day just to straighten you out on this issue."

The recording was published by celebrity news site TMZ.com, which said that the call was placed on April 11.

Baldwin's spokesman said in a statement Thursday that, "in the best interest of the child," the 49-year-old actor "will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing ... keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order.

"The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order," the statement continued. "Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years."

"The voice mail speaks for itself," Basinger's spokeswoman said.

Calls to Basinger's and Baldwin's attorneys were not returned.

Baldwin and Basinger, 53, were married in 1993. They have been involved in prolonged legal disputes over custody and other issues since she filed for divorce in 2001, which was granted in 2002. The couple's differences have been aired several times in public.

Basinger was charged with contempt of court in October for violating terms of a 2004 custody agreement. A motion by her lawyers to dismiss the charges was denied Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The next hearing on visitation issues is scheduled for May 4.

I might have flipped out if I was mad too but nothing that extreme to a little kid. GEEZ!!!!

What an a$$hole!

However, Kim Basinger is an even bigger a$$hole for leaking it. The poor girl.

Its just sad,

Bassinger is manipulating the situation. And then she publicizes the unfortunate event.

Baldwin is furious at her and is taking it out on his daughter - the last person he should be taking out hs anger on.

Just sad and wrong.

Morning radio played this over and over while I was driving to work this morning. I know we all have lost our cool with our kids, raised our voices, "threaten" to take some action...but when you call your child names, in an obvious attempt to belittle them, that is nothing short of child abuse.

Both parents are as bad as each other. In my opinion, it is THEY that need to grow up, not the daughter.

I feel so sorry for this little girl.....a pawn in a very sick game!

Job I would not want right now: Alec Baldwin's agent

Could it be their attempt to garner media attention (as both of them have been lacking in roles for a few years--Basinger even more so than Baldwin)?

If it is I think it may backfire. And quite rightly so.

Yeah, all it shows is that they are (non-gracefully) ageing CF's.

Maybe Kim, but Alec always has lots of things going on. Hopefully not so much anymore...
